im curious as to the minimum expansion velocity of Federals 120gr copper power shok
I talked with Federal...
120 Gr Powr Shock: minimum velocity for expansion is 1750fps. Out of my 7" barrel, MV is 1848 fps.
150 gr Federal Fusion: "documented expansion down to ~1500 fps". MV from my 7" barrel, 1587.
Work just bought me 200 rounds of the 120 powershock. Worked well on a mule deer last year, a bit surprising to see the high minimum expansion velocity. 6" barrel and ~190 yards, still expanded well.

I work for Ammoland.com testing guns, optics, accessories and ammo. Worked at Loadoutroom.com for three years preceding that. I don't get paid enough to supply my own ammo! When possible I try to hit each range day with multiple products in concert, like a new rifle with a variety of new rounds and a new optic. When it works, it works great. When there's a problem, I have to re-do each item separately to see which is to blame.
Talked my editor into buying some rounds so I can keep the tests going, it's easier to get a rifle manufacturer to send a T&E rifle than it is to get ammo. Hard to blame the ammo manufacturers, everyone wants what they have!

Sorry for the delay.
Been sucked into my latest 6.5 Grendel project and getting setup for deer season.
(My 10 year old daughter has some serious "Buck Fever".
I'll do my best to get the list updated soon.

So just trying for free advertisement without adding to the information? Classy.
